Learn to dance with Phil and Julie
YEARS ago dance classes were seen as something for the ladies, with a dance partner being as difficult to find as the preverbal “needle in the haystack!”
Today the image of dance has undergone a major change with programmes such as Strictly Come Dancing being compulsive viewing and proving that even tough rugby players can learn to move on the dance floor with style.
Local couple Phil & Julie Jones went along to learn Modern Jive after friends recommended it and they haven’t looked back since.
They started out as complete nondancers and progressed to helping out new people to learn Modern Jive, then to management and latterly to running their own venues because they wanted to share their passion for dance and music with others.
“Modern Jive” is a fusion of Salsa, Ballroom, Latin and Swing all rolled into one easy to learn dance. It is NOT the old Rock n Roll jive!
It is a proven fact that dancing and music are an excellent remedy for stress or depression and it’s a great way for keeping fit without being monotonous. Modern Jive is easy to learn and is not as demanding as other types of dance.
Phil and Julie hold classes every week at Llandudno Junction Labour Club and would love people to come along and give it a go. There are two classes during the evening, a beginner lesson and an intermediate lesson where anyone can join in with plenty of time to practice in between or sit and have a chat and a drink and make new friends.
You don’t need a partner, so come along, you have nothing to lose! We have 50 – 60 people every week at our other venues.
Classes are held Wednesday evening 7.30-10.30pm at Llandudno Junction Labour Club. Only £6. Contact Phil or Julie on 07776442634 or e-mail strictlypjdance@hotmail.co.uk
